5.0 out of 5 starsLodge EC7D33 Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2018
I gave 5 stars to the Lodge EC7D33 Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven for many reasons. First being that it has held up great under regular use. I waited 15 months to do this review was because time slipped by so fast, but normally when I buy cookware and kitchen appliances I wait a 6-8 months to see if they hold up or fail. This one has held up fine. I have used cast iron cookware for over 30 years now. Knowing that enamel is very easy to chip I treat it like it is glass. I take extra care not to use metal utensils in them and never soak them in water for long periods of time before cleaning them. As with all cast iron I always heat them up slowly, never dry and never straight to high heat because that to can make the enamel chip or pop off. The same thing as heating them before cleaning them you need to allow them to cool down first.. For cleaning my Enameled Cast Iron only I use a worn out green Scotch-Brite Pad with some dish soap clean and scrub if needed. Mine are still nice and white inside and unchipped after many years of use. The newest one is the Lodge EC7D33 I use it weekly and I'm happy with it so far... If it holds up as long as my other old Lodge Enameled Cast Iron Cookware have, this one will be around long after I'm gone...

1.0 out of 5 starsFalsely represented 12-20-2020 Update DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY
Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2018
False represented !!! lodge says made in America but in the small print this product is made in china. Their enameled stuff is all china made trash. If I wanted china made trash I would not have paid more for what was represented as made in America . If I had realized this was china made trash before my return window expired I would have RETURNED it. After a 3 or 4 uses the glass coating on the inside is cracked all along the rounded bottom. Another example of POOR CHINA MADE TRASH !

1.0 out of 5 stars It is Made in China
Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2018
Color: BlueSize: 6 QuartVerified Purchase
When I was looking for a Dutch Oven for my wife, I chose the one made by Lodge because I thought it was made in the USA. I was very disappointed, when I opened it up last night to see it was made in China. I am even more disappointed that reading through the product description, and in the section about the company Lodge, it leads the consumer to believe all of it's cast iron cookware is Made in Tennessee. This really seems to be false advertising, either by Lodge or by Amazon. I thought I was purchasing a Made in the USA product, but instead I received a Made in China pot. Granted we just opened the Dutch Oven last night, it may work very well. But mostly, I am disappointed, frustrated, and upset by the false advertising.

1.0 out of 5 stars STARTED A FIRE IN MY KITCHEN
Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2018
Color: Oyster WhiteSize: 6 QuartVerified Purchase
If you like FLAMES with your chili - this is the pot for you. Seriously, the paint melted to my stovetop and caused a fire. My husband and I received this as a wedding gift and have used it around 5 times to make different things. I was making chili in it today and had it on the stove at medium heat with oil in it when suddenly it bursted into flames. This is extremely upsetting to me and it has caused damage to both my stovetop and made my pan unusable. I'm unsure if this pan just malfunctioned or if something is wrong with all of these products.

It looks great and wished i could keep it. The concern is it's made in China... concerned with the enamel being toxic possibly. I will have to return it and hope there's not hefty shipping charge.

1.0 out of 5 stars MADE IN CHINA despite description
Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2019
Color: LagoonSize: 6 QuartVerified Purchase
We love Lodge products. We own three pieces of Lodge cast iron pans that we bought over other brands specifically because of them being made in the USA. This was the first time we bought a Lodge piece online and we are so very disappointed. From the description on this listing: “Lodge Cast Iron operates two foundries on the banks of the Tennessee River in the small town of South Pittsburg, Tennessee; a town Lodge is proud to call home. The company is built on family values, American history, and high quality cookware. All Lodge seasoned cast iron and carbon steel cookware is proudly made in the USA, meaning you’ll get craftsmanship that has been passed down through generations.” This is so misleading because as you’re reading through the listing it *implies* that the cast iron Dutch oven is “proudly made in the USA.” But right on the box the pot is shipped in: “MADE IN CHINA.” How misleading of Lodge to tout their American roots directly under an item they’ve decided to have made in China. This is a deal-breaker for us. Secondly, as other reviewers have noted, the lagoon color isn’t even close to matching the color in the picture. The listing shows a beautiful, rich, green on every screen I’ve looked at but when it arrived it was a drab gray-blue color not remotely reminiscent of the color in the listing. What a waste of money that we thought we were spending on a true American company that sold out for their enameled products. I’d gladly have paid much more for something actually made in the USA.

1.0 out of 5 stars I purchased a Lodge EC6D43 Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven ...
Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2017
Color: Island Spice RedSize: 6 QuartVerified Purchase
I purchased a Lodge EC6D43 Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven, 6-Quart, Island Spice Red on January 31, 2017. After only two uses, I now have a small chip on the inside of the bowl. I don't use medal utensils and followed care instructions. After reading amazon feedback, there appears to be a number of people with similar problems. I am waiting to hear back from Lodge, but probably should have gone with a higher end product.

UPDATE: I did contact Lodge on the above issue. After a few clarifying emails and pictures, they agreed to ship me a replacement. At this point, I'm really impressed the way they are standing behind their product. I decided to change my rating from 1 to 4 stars.

UPDATE 2: I received the new Lodge cookware as noted above. After unpacking, I found two small areas that were ruff to the touch. I lightly rubbed one with my finger and the top coating fell off. The other area seems stable. So now I have two pieces with the same type of defect. I contacted Lodge again, but have not heard anything more from them. I've decided to give up on the issue. Rating changed back to 1 star.

1.0 out of 5 stars Gone to pot.
Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2015
Color: Island Spice RedSize: 6 QuartVerified Purchase
This has become my go to cooking pot. It does everything. If you are limited on space throw every thing away and get this Dutch Oven. I have cooked pasta, fried sausage, eggs and stir fry. Makes great pot roast in the oven. Works on all cooking surfaces, glass top, gas, and induction.

This is an update. This pan lost it's enamel shortly after the first month of use. It became impossible to cook anything , except water without it sticking. Terrible investment. Apparently not a flawed item, as I bought a smaller size and the same thing happened. Buyer beware!

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't go wrong with Lodge
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2020
Color: IndigoSize: 6 QuartVerified Purchase
Lodge makes good stuff. Period.

I saw some reviews about people complaining about burning the coating, chipping, etc. I've been using this several times a week for a few weeks, and have come to the conclusion that many folks just don't read the small guide on how to properly use and maintain this. These are probably the same folks that couldn't maintain non-coated cast iron cookware, as well. I get it, it's not as easy as simple non-stick cookware, but it's far from difficult. The benefits of cooking with coated cast iron outweigh the minor differences in cooking style and maintenance.

* Don't crank the heat up under it from room temp to full blast/high. Raise it up slower. I rarely need to take mine above medium, let alone medium-high. That's doing everything from making curry, to tomato sauce, to searing chicken thighs, etc. Normal cast iron can handle this type of heat shift, usually, but coated stuff is a bit more sensitive to this.
* Learn how to de-glaze your cookware. You should never have to scrape food off a properly-used skillet or dutch oven. De-glazing gets all the fond off the bottom for you, and into your food where it belongs.
* I only use normal dish soap and the non-scratchy part of a sponge to clean this. If you use it properly that's all you should need. Sometimes when I make chili or tomato sauce it'll get a ring around the inside where the "water line" was, but dish soap and lightly using the rough side of a sponge are plenty to deal with that.
* Use wooden or silicone-coated cooking utensils. Metal utensils at minimum, run the risk of leaving scratches on the coating, which add up over time to chips/cracks. Save the metal stuff for non-coated cookware like regular cast iron or stainless.

I hope the real-world tips help folks.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do NOT Buy this
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2020
Color: Oyster WhiteSize: 7 QuartVerified Purchase
First or all you have to understand that this is Chinese made. The ad says "From environmental responsibility to community development, their heads and hearts are rooted in America." Well maybe their heads are rooted here but their manufacturing is not. I didn't expect it to be like my pricey French dutch oven but isn't close in size or quality. Next you have understand that there are supposedly NO returns on this item. The ad say "Free Returns, but its untrue. Called the manufacturer and they say Amazon has it wrong.They gave me number at Amazon and they resolved the issue. They said any cooking items are non returnable so the description is wrong. I think its the only item that had a no return policy that I have ever bought on Amazon in the last 3 years. What kind of products have no return policies? Answer: the ones that will get high return rates.
